In FIG. 3, the radio protocol architecture for a UE and a gNB is represented by three layers, which are a layer 1, a layer 2 and a layer 3, respectively. The layer 1 (L1) is the lowest layer and performs signal processing functions of various PHY layers. The L1 is called PHY 301 in the present disclosure. The layer 2 (L2) 305 is above the PHY 301, and is in charge of the link between the UE and the gNB via the PHY 301. In the user plane, L2 305 comprises a Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer 302, a Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer 303 and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer 304. All the three sublayers terminate at the gNBs of the network side. Although not described in FIG. 3, the UE may comprise several protocol layers above the L2 305, such as a network layer (i.e., IP layer) terminated at a P-GW 213 of the network side and an application layer terminated at the other side of the connection (i.e., a peer UE, a server, etc.). The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing among variable radio bearers and logical channels. The PDCP sublayer 304 also provides a header compression for a higher-layer packet so as to reduce a radio transmission overhead. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides security by encrypting a packet and provides support for UE handover between gNBs. The RLC sublayer 303 provides segmentation and reassembling of a higher-layer packet, retransmission of a lost packet, and reordering of a packet so as to compensate the disordered receiving caused by Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ).

The MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating between UEs various radio resources (i.e., resource block) in a cell. The MAC sublayer 302 is also in charge of HARQ operation. In the control plane, the radio protocol architecture of the UE and the gNB is almost the same as the radio protocol architecture in the user plane on the PHY 301 and the L2 305, but there is no header compression for the control plane. The control plane also comprises a Radio Resource Control (RRC) sublayer 306 in the layer 3 (L3). The RRC sublayer 306 is responsible for acquiring radio resources (i.e., radio bearer) and configuring the lower layer using an RRC signaling between the gNB and the UE.
